I feel so marginalized by the universe's expanse and society's domination of my individuality. I _want_ to be a good person. I just have never been told how. Can't help every bum, can't shut down every evil bloodsucker. Life feels so meaningless when the moles just keep popping up as you hit them. Aye, I upvote, wish I had the means to do more, it seems like my existence is split in two..startups having to do a lot with it.

How to help the world?

Step 1) Make lots of money Step 2) Influence

It always feels like I'm trying to "scheme" morality, and it hasn't worked out so far, since I'm not rich enough to do shit, in terms of making real change.

This video about the toolbox fallacy is so apt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz4YqwH_6D0

I keep waiting for step 1 to complete so I can then "live life after life."

Like a hamster on a wheel....

Public executions of the operators of this laboratory would do Humanity good.
You can either test toxicity on animals or test it on humans. They should create an especially uncharismatic dog breed to test with.
That's dumb, to be blunt as hell. Toxicology of pertinent substances is long ago documented, and can literally be just looked up in old research.
We pop a bullet powered rod in a animals head, flay it, cut it's flesh off, eat it, shit it out...... all good.

Use an animal to progress science and help the lives of millions?

This includes understanding animal physiology, vets allow animals to live amazing long lives these days as well as humans.

We didn't get were we are today listening to the weak minded who think's the meat in the plastic wrapped supermarket section is the lesser evil.

I would think with the advances in DNA research that animal testing would be considerably reduced or eliminated. I also don't understand how testing on animals correlates to substance toxicity in humans.
